We're dedicating this installment of AYA to YA/Middle-Grade author Ellen Wittlinger, who passed in away in November 2022. In this episode, Kate Pritchard will offer some memories of her mom and give us a timeline of LGBTQIA+ books for young people.
We'll are share our picks for Queer YA books, as well as mentioning what we've been consuming lately and what we're looking forward to next. (With a slight detour to discuss how we feel about reading sequels.)
